I hate to sound ignorant, but I have to ask. I have been reading the forums and I keep seeing the term "root". What is this?
thanks,

u hit them with the attack and u are stuck, and therefore dead...
for example...jedi uses its root attack to root u to the ground
he walks up to you slowly, says goodbye, and kills u in 5 hits instantly

Or a ranged BH use it and run 33m away = dead Jedi.
Just wait for stasis to work, I predict posts in the BH and Jedi forums to reach epic proportions after the CU about these two skills and Paralyze (wich I'm not really sure where you get. CM?)

So your experience with Root has been that it prevents a BH from attacking or defending himself? Isn't Root designed to break after taking a single hit?
There really isn't much of a tactical advantage to a Jedi usingRoot in my opinion, other than attempting to keep a BH within LS range for a very short time. A root attack is much more deadly to a melee profession (Jedi) who gets rooted by a ranged profession (post-CU Bounty Hunter). A Jedi's only ranged attack is /saberThrow and it's not clear yet how well that will work post-CU.

There is a root, or root like attack, in most elite ranged profs. I am a Mpistoleer. I have advancedstopping shot which roots for 10sec. I think. It is in the far right tree(sry forgot name of tree). It stops your mark in one spot where they can not run or walk anywhere the whole time they are rooted. The main problem with root is the cool down timer on it. It takes about 30sec to a minute before you can use it again.
